so it's autumn now, a season i love so dearly. i love watching the leaves go brown on the trees, and the piles left when they fall off. the brown, red and yellow colours are so beautiful. i also love the rain at this time of year. at other times i hate it, but i love the rain in autumn. it makes me feel warm and fuzzy, and i love the way the leaves look when they are wet, the way the ground crunches under my ankle boots, the way the air feels when it's stopped raining, the clearness, the innoncence, so tranquil. 
autumn also signifies much more. autumn is the run up to winter, the countdown to Christmas. the leaves start falling off mid-autumn and towards the end, leaving them brown and thin. baring all they have. showing everyone what they are made of. Halloween is in autumn too, the time for pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating, and dressing up. a time for fun. closely followed by bonfire night, fireworks and sparklers, bonfires and noise. animals running scared and frightened of the ever increasing racket blaring through windows and walls. then last but not least. Christmas. the joy of receiving presents on Christmas morning is enough to send any child insane. the joy and wondering of what is underneath the crisp wrapping paper, the smell of Christmas dinner in the oven, and Christmas telly. 
but they are still yet to come, as you look outside your window now autumn is upon us. a time of leaves, cold, rain and coats.
